22 Jul 02 - 06:07 PM (#752662) Subject: Red and Green From: GUEST,danielhill@shaw.ca I am looking for the lyrics to a song written by Robb Johnson, and sung by, among others, Roy Bailey, called Red and Green. It is the last tune on Bailey's CODA CD.Had a look through the Mudcat Lyrics and didn't find a reference. Perhaps I have the wrong title? |

Sometimes searching on part of the lyrics is more helpful than the title. Can you give us some of the words please? Joan |

24 Apr 12 - 02:36 PM (#3342687) Subject: ADD: Red and Green (Robb Johnson) From: Joe Offer I found the song on Spotify as "Red & Green." I hear a few lines differently: RED AND GREEN (Robb Johnson) I dreamed the old dream just last night, Red and Green, and going home; I dreamed of no wars left to fight, Red and Green, and going home. I dreamed of those who know no rest, Red and Green, and going home; The refugee, the dispossessed, Red and Green, and going home. And submarines plowshared the sand, Red and Green, and going home; And factories turned to fertile land, Red and Green, and going home. We heal the sick and the insane, Red and Green, and going home; The leper and the limousine, Red and Green, and going home. We saw our likeness in each face, Red and Green, and going home; And with each kindness, gathered grace, Red and Green, and going home. Ah, these are old dreams, nothing new, Red and Green, and going home; Of yet to come, nonetheless true, Red and Green, and going home. Red and Green, and going home. Red and Green, and going home. Alternate title: RED & GREEN from the CD collection titled Margaret Thatcher: My Part in her Downfall, by Robb Johnson and the Irregulars I think I have everything right, but I'm not sure about the "plowshared the sand" and "leper and the limousine." |
